Royal Lady Plus Everton have sold a number of players for high values - remember this is their NET spend.
It's not so much how much we spend, as who we get for our money - and, on paper, we've made some astute signings this season - time will tell. There's always January if it's all going tits up.

Well I'd rather know we have a team that can compete in this league, than have a great infrastructure - but I suppose it depends on what they're priorities will be. I don't know if we have tried to get any more players before the deadline, but I would hope that we did. I fully understand that splashing the cash doesn't necessarily buy you success, but I think we might have made a mistake in thinking that what we have now is enough. I hope I'm proved wrong - the next few games will tell. As I said in another thread, I think 3 points from the next 3 games will be an achievement.Ian Royal Anton's never said he'd spend big money on transfers. All his talk has been about keeping our best players, being able to still buy decent players (Pog & Guthrie - way out of our league previously), and spending big to improve our infrastructure.

Harpers So Solid Crew I thought the money was there for Coppell though, but he chose not to spend it.
The main point seems to be that Jm said to stay in the Prem you need to spend big. Well we haven't so lets take the ride and see what happens.
Though according to the Mail Anton said this,
The Barclays Premier League's next mega-rich Russian owner insists he is ready to spend big this summer to make Reading a major force.

Royal Lady And if he wasn't on a free, would he still have had a signing on fee?

Yeah, but that's pretty meaningless as of right now in terms of predicting the end of the season league table. Whereas a wages league table would be pretty good at that.
I think that if you use a wages table, you will be even more depressed!

Royal Lady Ian - where do you think Leicester City were last year in the "wages table" and where did they end up? The wage table is no real indicator of future performance at all.
